Benefits of technology

[0005]The objective of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the air plasma spraying where the powder feedstock preparation is complicated and time-consuming, and sol-gel or other wet chemistry method where the synthesized coating generally has thin coating thickness and with low production efficiency. Therefore, a new method is provided for preparation of bioactive glass coatings.

Problems solved by technology

However, the inferior mechanical properties of bioactive glasses, such as high brittleness and low toughness, limit their usages.
However, this method also has the following shortcomings: long process time, thin coating thickness (usually about 10 μm), easy to crack, low bonding strength between the coating and substrate, complicated procedures, low productivity, unsuitable for large-scale production.
However, there are stringent requirements on the preparation of the bioactive glass powder feedstocks.
Firstly, all the oxide constituents were mixed together and melted at high temperature.
Since it is complicated and time-consuming, the process has low productivity and high cost.

Abstract

The present invention belongs to the field of biomedical material, and is particularly related to a method of preparing bioactive glass coatings by liquid precursor thermal spray. The objective of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the air plasma spraying where the powder feedstock preparation is complicated and time-consuming, and sol-gel or other wet chemistry method where the synthesized coating generally has thin coating thickness and with low production efficiency. Therefore, a new method is provided for preparation of bioactive glass coatings. In this method, organic and inorganic raw materials were first weighed in accordance with the chemical composition of bioactive glasses, and sol or suspension was prepared; then the sol or suspension was used as the feedstock for thermal spray, and was deposited on the biomedical materials substrate, at high temperature to form the bioactive glass coating.

This method can be used to prepare bioactive glass coatings.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention belongs to the field of biomedical material, and is particularly related to a method of preparing bioactive glass coatings by liquid precursor thermal spray.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Bioactive glass was first invented by Hench and collaborators at the University of Florida in 1971 (L. L. Hench, R. J. Splinter, W. C. Allen, J. Biomed. Mater. Res. Symp., 1971, (2):117˜141). Bioactive glass not only possesses excellent bioactivity, but also has favorable bonding to bone and soft tissue. Furthermore, it holds long-term security and stability when being implanted into body as an artificial bone replacement material. Therefore, bioactive glasses have great potential in dental, orthopedic, otology, and restoration applications (L. L. Hench, Bioceramics, J. Am. Ceram. Soc., 1998, (81):1705˜1728). At present, bioactive glasses have received the approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, the inferior mechanical prop...
